The IEEE Entrepreneurship logo can be locked up with the IEEE N3XT, the IEEE Master Brand, or other logos but should always be separated with a yellow or purple dividing line. IEEE Entrepreneurship works in partnership with IEEE Entities to host IEEE N3XT® events and should always appear first in the lock-up.

PRIMARY LOGO AND IEEE N3XT

When using the horizontal IEEE Entrepreneurship and IEEE N3XT logos together, they should be separated with a yellow line.

PRIMARY LOGO AND IEEE MASTER BRANDWhen using the IEEE Entrepreneurship logo and IEEE Master Brand together, the IEEE Master Brand should always be black.

LOCK-UP FLAGWhen possible, use the "flag" lockup when using the stacked IEEE Entrepreneurship logo with the IEEE N3XT logo or IEEE Master Brand.

On all lock-ups, make sure to follow proper minimum and clear space.

The IEEE Entrepreneurship “stars” are a prominent part of the logo as well as the brand. The “stars” can be used separately from the IEEE Entrepreneurship logo as a design element on print and web applications.

When using the “stars” as a watermark or ghosted design element, they should be used at 50% or 25% opacity. The "stars" can be used at 100% opacity, IF they are the only design element used and no imagery is shown. The “stars” can bleed off the edge. (See application examples on page 21).

The “stars” should never be rotated. They should stay in the same orientation as shown in the IEEE Entrepreneurship logo.

IEEE Master Brand Typography

IEEE typefaces have been carefully chosen for ease of communications and for their legibility, flexibility, and adaptability with the other design elements.

PRIMARY TYPEFACE

Formata is the IEEE as well as the IEEE Entrepreneurship primary typeface. Formata, a sans serif font, should be used predominantly on all print applications. This typeface is available in many weights and styles that are essential to create distinction across all communications.

When Formata is not available, use alternate typefaces specified on page 12.

SECONDARY TYPEFACE

Adobe Caslon Pro has been designated as the IEEE secondary typeface to complement the Formata font family. Adobe Caslon Pro, a serif font, is to be used sparingly, only for headlines or titles.

When Adobe Caslon Pro is not available, use the alternate typefaces specifed on page 12.

WEB TYPEFACE

Open Sans is the IEEE preferred web font for use on all websites.

IEEE Master Brand Alternate Typography

Digital applications such as websites or internal documents such as corporate stationery, require alternate typefaces that are readily available throughout the organization.

ALTERNATE PRIMARY TYPEFACE

In addition to the IEEE Entrepreneurship colors and typography, the IEEE Master Brand wedge is a key element of the IEEE design system.

USE OF THE WEDGE

In addition to the IEEE Master Brand, colors, typography, and imagery, the wedge is a key element of the IEEE design system. The wedge device, based on the graphic style of the kite emblem of the IEEE Master Brand, is streamlined to create a unique and dynamic look-and-feel system that can be applied across all IEEE-Branded communications. The wedge should be incorporated in all materials, however it should be done so sparingly.

ANGLE & RATIO

In order to use the wedge correctly, the angle of the wedge is very important. The wedge must be at an approved angle of either 45° or 135°.

THE WEDGE CAN BE USED IN A FEW DIFFERENT WAYS:

• within the frame of an image• within a graphic box that holds text• as a background panel• as a design accent

WEDGE RATIO

The dimensions of the wedge should increase or decrease in proportion to the size of the page layout.

See pages 20–22 for examples.

ImageryIntroductionThe six image themes—people, technology, knowledge, connections, global, and historical—are based on the key pillars of the IEEE Brand and reflect the Master Brand personality and style, as well as IEEE members, areas of expertise, and history. Original photographs that you own the copyright for (not clip art or stock images) should be used whenever possible. When original photographs are not available, stock photography and abstract or vector artwork is acceptable as long as it follows the same guidelines.

Use of photographs without appropriate licenses or permission is prohibited. Please note that all photographs are potentially subject to copyright. Use of an image obtained from a search engine or other source may violate the rights of the copyright owner and subject IEEE to liability.

Royalty-free images are available for purchase from various stock photography collections on the web for a one-time fee for usage in an unlimited number of applications, an unlimited number of times. The cost is based on file size, not usage. Pulling images from Google is not allowed. Any questions please email, [email protected].

IEEE Entrepreneruship imagery should be shown in full color. When not using photography, abstract or vector art may be used. The IEEE brand imagery themes are your guide and reflect the IEEE core values, brand personality and style, and IEEE members, areas of expertise, and history.

• Original photography (not clip art or stock images) should be used whenever possible to convey the IEEE brand imagery themes. If original photography is not available, stock photos can be substituted as long as they convey real people, real environments, and real world situations.

• When selecting photos for larger layouts or complex messages, look for opportunities to tell a simple story which supports the written content and helps the IEEE audience understand and engage with the message.

• Images should be cropped whenever possible and eliminate unnecessary details so the core message of the image is clear.

• Highlight diversity in the IEEE organization and in the IEEE marketplace through age, gender, race, dress, country of origin, and job responsibilities.

To keep the IEEE Brand consistent throughout all applications, follow these guidelines when producing any type of video.

WATERMARKUsing the IEEE Master Brand as a ghosted/translucent ‘watermark’ is a good way to leverage the IEEE Brand (shown on right). Be sure to maintain proper brand clear space, as well as enough room to allow for a video control bar that may appear below the watermark during playback.

If the IEEE Entrepreneurship logo or IEEE.tv logo is present, the IEEE Master Brand can appear in opening and closing frames, rather than throughout.

IEEE WEDGE DESIGN SYSTEM Consider using a branded ‘wedge’ accent color bar along the bottom of the screen with reversed to white Master Brand for title and ending slides. This can be done in IEEE blue or any IEEE color from the approved color palette.

Video Guidelines

Consider use of the IEEE Wedge element as a design accent. The wedge may be shown in any of the colors from the approved IEEE color palette.

When using more than one logo on the endslate of a video, consider using a vertical line to separate the two logos.

When there is an IEEE.tv watermark, or when multiple sub-brands are involved, the IEEE Master Brand does not have to appear throughout, but should appear in the beginning and ending frames.

Make sure to leave space clearance in the lower portion of the video frame for the IEEE.tv brand watermark. Anything intended for use in that space, please contact ieee.tv for further guidance.

All social media brands (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) have their own sets of guidelines. IEEE Entrepreneurship works in partnership with IEEE Entities to host IEEE N3XT® events. The IEEE Entrepreneurship logo should be used on all social media applications. Follow the minimum size (100 pixels) and clear space (½x) for digital and on-screen applications.

If the minimum size and/or clear space cannot be met, the IEEE Entrepreneurship logo and IEEE Master Brand should be as large as possible within the given space .

To better fit the social media profile icon size restrictions, a stacked IEEE Entrepreneurship logo is provided. Make sure that the Master Brand, sub-brand logos and/or tagline (if used) are legible when resized for mobile optimization.

Size and Font• Clear Space: Equal to or greater than ½x• Master Brand Minimum Width: 100 pixels• Font: Formata or Calibri

Color• Must be from approved IEEE color palette
